A Major Problem With Taric

Jal97·Dec 11, 2016·2 votes·435 views

Playing Taric has been such an enjoyment to play on League of Legends since his update/rework. My ONLY problem is that his ult can make or break a team fight. Mostly break. I have a couple problems with the setup of the ult in general. The fact that it takes 2.5 seconds to activate is a major problem. A lot of champions have the ability to easily deal massive damage at the start of the team fight. If ganked, surprised, or no one pays attention, this ult is basically useless. The other problem is that the ult only lasts 2.5 seconds. Normal teamfights take MUCH longer than 2.5 seconds. The only problem now is that during this teamfight (Chances are, if you can actually use it) you can't keep the enemies there. Sure, a stun can prevent them from leaving for a period of time, but the problem is generally not going to occur. The biggest issue with it being 2.5 seconds is that this ult to a tank is practically worthless.

I'm not saying make the ult last 10 seconds, but I am at least saying lower the activation time, and keep the ult around longer. Please take this into consideration I beg. I truly want to enjoy being able to play taric, and actually being able to keep both myself and others alive.

They will never increase the duration of the ult because it is a team version of Kayle's ult and ppl complained about her's lasting too long so they ended up nerfing it.. The activation time, Yea I could agree with.

They do that for balance purposes and the fact it effects the whole team

I know this...just saying that in a way I could agree with the activation length.

As I stated I do not like this taric I miss the old one a lot better. The issue with the old taric was his ultimate was useless af. This taric ultimate can essentially never casted or used or canceled. Who else can do this? Zil and that's it

When I prep my ult I spam my locket E and FotM shields to try to get everyone to livw just long enough for the ult to proc.

I really can't say if this id a good idea or not, becuase Taric is in a pretty good place balancewise, not visiting patchnotes for a good while.

I liked pre-work taric a lot better. I really dislike his kit, old taric could bully most top layers out of lane and 1v1 a lot of Champs. The issue with old taric was his ultimate was useless, this taric is under whelming and I'm not a fan of his stun because it's easily dodged and his new ultimate can easily be canceled. Due to you burst him there is no ultimate

His Ult has a ton of uses, and invalidating an entire team fight is not one of them. It's uses are to either protect one of your major damage dealers and bonus points if other people get in it, as an engagement tool to protect your team from the front line damage at the start, and it's also got amazing use when your team is sieging and enemy turret and you need to break through and take the turret without worrying about them or turret fire.

Tarics team fight is really good. His problem is is horrible lane phase is so easy to punish him and harass the adc since his stun actually has a lot of counterplay to it and thats really all he gots.
